Energy across two Plano generations of housing
Plano families increasingly own two properties at once — the established Willow Bend or Deerfield home where the kids grew up, and the new Tollway-corridor build that came with rooftop solar and an EV charger from day one. We design energy management that holds both. The new build off Communications Parkway gets full Savant Power monitoring with solar production, battery state, and EV draw on one dashboard. The original Plano home gets retrofit current sensing on the main panel and individual circuit-level visibility on the loads that actually matter — pool pump, HVAC, water heater. Two houses, one number to watch.
The point is not the dashboard. The point is the decision. When the August Texas heat wave puts the Plano grid under stress and ERCOT issues a conservation appeal, your system already knows. The Willow Bend home pre-cools at 2 p.m. before peak rates kick in. The new build draws from battery instead of the meter between four and seven. The pool pump shifts to overnight. The bill comes down. The lifestyle does not.
How We Do It in Plano
A load audit of your specific Plano home — We walk every panel, every subpanel, every large load. We learn what is drawing what and when. The audit alone usually reveals fifteen to twenty percent of waste.
Solar and battery sizing for the Tollway-corridor new build — If the project includes solar, we size it to your actual load profile rather than a generic kilowatt target. Battery capacity is sized for the peak hours you actually want to ride through.
Retrofit current sensing for the established Plano home — For Willow Bend or Deerfield homes where we are not adding solar, we install panel-level and circuit-level current sensors. The dashboard reveals everything without rewiring the panel.
Savant Power integration — Solar, battery, EV charging, panel current data, and HVAC controls land in one Savant view. Two homes in one account if that is the situation.
Schedules, scenes, and ERCOT response — Peak-hour scenes for the pool pump, the water heater, the HVAC pre-cool. Automated response to ERCOT conservation appeals so the home protects itself when the grid is stressed.
Monthly bill review for the first season — We review the first three monthly bills with you. Most Plano families see a meaningful drop by month two — we tune the schedules until the number is where we said it would be.
Who We Help in Plano
- You, building new along the Tollway corridor with rooftop solar and a battery from day one
- You, in Willow Bend, retrofitting energy monitoring onto a 1990s build without a remodel
- You, with both an established Plano home and a new Tollway build under one energy dashboard
- You, in Deerfield, whose summer electric bill has crossed a threshold you no longer want to ignore
- You, with a pool pump, a spa heater, and two HVAC units fighting each other through August
The Frustrations We Hear Most
- The August Plano electric bill is twice what it was three years ago
- The pool pump runs during peak rate hours because nobody scheduled it otherwise
- The new build has solar but no visibility into when it is producing versus when it is being used
- Two HVAC units in a Willow Bend two-story fight each other and neither wins
- ERCOT conservation appeals come through and there is no automated response

The Questions People Actually Ask.
Our Willow Bend home was built in the 1990s and we are not adding solar. Is energy management still worth it?
Yes. Retrofit current sensing at the panel level reveals where the waste is, and scheduling the pool pump, water heater, and HVAC around Plano peak rate windows usually saves more than the system costs in the first two summers.
We have a Tollway-corridor new build with solar already installed. Can you take over monitoring?
We can. If the existing solar is a standard inverter brand we add Savant Power as an integration layer above it. You keep the inverter, you keep the array, and you gain the unified dashboard, battery dispatch logic, and ERCOT response.
When ERCOT issues a conservation appeal in Plano summer, what does the system actually do?
It pre-cools the home before peak hours, shifts the pool pump and water heater to off-peak windows, draws from battery if you have one, and dims non-essential loads. You see the response on the dashboard. The room does not feel any different — the bill does.
Can the system manage both our older Plano home and the new build under one account?
Yes. Two properties, one Savant account, one app. Useful for families who keep the original Deerfield home as the primary residence and use the new Tollway build as a guest or extended-family property.
